At Grinnell, you'll be well connected. Your advisers — including your First-Year Tutorial professor, a career adviser, and a residence life adviser — will make sure you know all the resources available to you on campus, and of course you will organically make plenty of connections with people as you live your life here. But we are pleased to help you make some early connections with a few folks from our campus and our town.
Congratulations on being admitted to Grinnell, and welcome! My name is Gabby Hernández '24, and I'm the president of Grinnell's Student Government Association (SGA).
Our organization represents student voices to College faculty and administration, encourages student dialogue, and advocates for any other needs of the students.
Current SGA members include the Cabinet and Senate. The Senate is comprised by elected volunteer positions you can run for, starting from your first semester on campus!
You are welcome to send any questions to me at sgaprez@grinnell.edu. We look forward to seeing you on campus!
Best,
Gabby Hernández and the SGA team
Grinnell College Student Government Association President

"Most services at SHAW are free for all students, and health insurance is not billed. If you have any questions or want to ask about specifics related to your health, feel free to reach out."
“As you make your way as a young adult, there are many discoveries and choices that you'll make. My crew is eager to join you on your journey and can help you every step of the way.”
“Each year, the entering class is a highly qualified group of students that includes people with physical, psychological, and learning disabilities. We are happy to begin working with you on your access needs anytime.”
"College is a moment of self-discovery, and as you make sense of who you are becoming through this new experience, our team works to co-create opportunities for you to reflect, connect, explore, engage, and strategize."
“The CRSSJ is for you whether you identify as religious or not; we hope this is a place for you to connect, explore big questions, and drink hot chocolate with friends.”
"Many of your fellow students become personally involved in a community, social, or educational endeavor off campus, which strengthens their college experience. I hope you will be part of this movement."
“Your campus and classroom experience is going to challenge you to grow and expand your understanding of the world. But there is much that can be learned off campus, too.”
"Students experience random acts of kindness around the town here, and there are myriad opportunities to participate and find a seat at the table as active and engaged citizens."
